Finally my book is taking shape

It's been my life long ambition to write a book.
A few articles published here and there over the years but I didn't feel 'good enough'. Felt I should be on an MA or doing courses. To cut a long story short, a writer friend said, just do it, write and see where it goes. Write everyday.
So I did and am feeling great. Just getting it on paper.
No idea if or has legs or whether any bigger will read it. But for me, it's a great feeling. Writing.

Good on you! I hope to do the same one day. I've always felt that I have the ideas but having confidence in myself (and focus xD) is another thing entirely.

Keep up the good work! You can do it :)

Enjoy!
I ended up writing a fanfic novel, and posted the first chapter online, which gave me motivation to continue, but once past a certain point, the joy was in the creation and making plot work and all.

Have done another very different one.

No money in it but equally no hassle, and knowing that a few thousand people have looked at your novel and a few hundred have finished and enjoyed it, is amazing.
The odd comment from someone saying their life has been enriched by your characters is even better, but has to be weighed against the ones saying 'you suck'.

Hear I did the same. Now I'm planning to self publish my book at the end of Jan. It has probably taken me 3 years to get to this point but I am very proud of my achievement - a 75,000 word dual time-frame novel. I am currently in the process of creating a supporting website which will, amongst other things, feature articles relating to the book. I never wrote to sell, I wrote my novel because l love writing! Currently working on book number two (but in the very early stages).

How's it going, OP? Are you still writing every day?

Hearnoevilspeaknoevil · 13/12/2020 00:24

Yes flamed. I am... Lots of editing. I'm really enjoying writing and feel my writng muscles have come on leaps and bounds.
Nowhere near finished but I have bags more confidence and I will finish what I started.
